6.1 Differential Protection Relay:

Why we need differential relay?

Some selected equipment / units need to be protected separately from whole power system, as the characteristics of these selected Equipments / units are different from other associated electrical accessories.

� Transformers � Generators � Motors � Busbars Are some specific Equipments / units on which differential relay is employed.

Differential relay is work on simple principle

Electrical Quantities enter in power system = Electrical Quantities exit from power system

We compare magnitude and phase or magnitude or phase of electrical quantities in differential protection relaying.
